Business Communication Assignment
Informational Interviewing
The easiest way to find career paths and jobs is to conduct informational interviews. For this assignment, please find a professional either with a job you would like to have, would like to learn more about their industry or are working for a company you hope to work for. Schedule a brief 15 to 20 minute interview either in person or on the phone. Have approximately 7 to 10 questions prepared.
After the interview prepare a word document including name and contact information of the person you interviewed, questions and their answers and a brief synopsis of your thoughts of the interview, job, career path, company. What was the most interesting thing you discovered from your interview?
